Each state has its own formula for determining your weekly benefit amount: how much money you will receive each week as your unemployment benefit. Typically, your weekly benefit amount is some percentage of your earnings during the entire base period or the quarter of the base period in which you were paid the most.
In Colorado, your weekly benefit will be the higher of:
- 60% of 1/26th of your wages in the two quarters of the base period in which you earned the most, up to a cap of $710 per week, or
- 50% of 1/52nd of your wages in the entire base period, up to a cap of $781.
